With this, they'll be @ $22-23M under the cap...with which they can sign other FA's. It also signals they intend to sign a vet QB...be it Orton, Kolb, whomever. If they sign Asomugha, they'll cut Clements (freeing up @$15M in cap space) and still be able to sign more players.
The Niners are not negotiating with any free agent QBs, according to all sources. This means all of QBs, including Smith, are scrubs. Cap may not be, but he is a rookie with the usual problems.
